Qualcomm and the UK based automotive and motorsport engineering consultancy Delta Motorsport have agreed to test wireless electric vehicle charging (WEVC) technology in London.
As per the agreement, Delta will incorporate the Qualcomm Halo WEVC system into its E-4 Coupe EVs which are participating in the trial.
Delta Motorsport technical director Nick Carpenter said, "Wireless EV Charging is the next technology step for the Delta E-4 Coupe, while the integration of Qualcomm Halo EV charging technology into the Delta E-4 Coupe and rigorous user testing in the London trial will help us better understand future EV engineering challenges."
The London WEVC trial, which is scheduled to begin in H2 of 2012, is aimed at assessing the commercial feasibility of the wireless charging of EVs, improving the knowledge regarding the use of WEVC into a megacity.
According to Delta, the test is also intended to build a further perceptive of issues associated with the incorporation of WEVC technology into EVs.
